Dana White Insists Conor McGregor Will Defend UFC Featherweight Belt

While there has been a lot of backlash amongst hardcore MMA fans that were disappointed in UFC 200‘s headliner featuring a rematch between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor.

Much of that backlash is due to the fact that Diaz submitted McGregor in the second round of their recent headlining fight at UFC 196 in early March. A lot of people seem to think it’s too soon for a rematch, particularly when McGregor was finished in the second round, and has yet to defend the featherweight championship that he unified with his 13-second victory over Jose Aldo in December.
